Critics say US intelligence has underestimated the power of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Members of the US Congress have accused local intelligence agencies of erroneous predictions about the course of the war in Ukraine. The pressure from the authorities resulted in a large-scale internal audit in the US intelligence community. According to CNN, citing its own sources, the Senate Intelligence Committee sent a secret letter to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Defense and the CIA on May 10. It noted that these bodies underestimated the capabilities of the Ukrainian army in the confrontation with Russia, giving the last 3-4 days to capture Kiev. According to members of the Senate, the methodology of intelligence services is not effective and needs to be reformed.
According to the source, some officials are also dissatisfied with the fact that the “whales” of the intelligence community did not take into account the forecasts of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research – a small intelligence agency within the State Department. It turned out that its members predicted the development of events in Ukraine much more accurately, but no one listened to them. Critics believe that if the United States had provided military assistance to the Armed Forces earlier, it would have significantly changed the balance of power on the battlefield.
In addition, it is reported that the US intelligence community is also conducting an internal investigation into false predictions about the situation in Afghanistan. According to preliminary information, the United States has overestimated the forces of the Afghan army in the confrontation with the Taliban.
Earlier it was reported that Volodymyr Zelensky met with a delegation of the US Senate in Kyiv.
Are American voters satisfied with the way the US leadership is supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia? Do they support the “closing of the sky” over Ukrainian cities and what weapons do they agree to transfer to our country? What fear of Americans is inferior to their fear of nuclear war?
